I've been playing with a few different setups.. was trying to find some sort of bluetooth setup to go from the living room to downstairs.. my advice would be to just abandon any hope of bluetooth.. it basically comes down to a finicky setup for more money than it's worth. I found 20 dollar logitech computer speakers and a drill solved my problem much better than I could ever hope.

I was streaming to my n800, as they have surprisingly decent speakers for the size. Arguably better than my dell and toshiba laptop speakers But I wanted better sound and portability...

make a long story short(er), I have two computers in my house, both running ubuntu, set up a pulseaudio multisync so that whatever I play on the computer upstairs plays downstairs, htpc runs spdif out on the stereo upstairs, computer speakers downstairs, and I had a usb fm transmitter I cracked apart and added a much longer antenna to it. So I now get sound everywhere in the house except the bedroom and garage, which the fm transmitter has covered. That tied with vnc viewer on the n800 to control the media player.. makes for a pretty killer setup.

Only catch is I wish I could figure out how to scale 1920x1080 down to whatever the tablets run on vnc..
